One might take some heart in the notion that someone competent might solve our election integrity problem, with the added benefit that our COMPLETELY useless FBI director might be in the midst of being eased off the FBI frontlines and engaged again where, clearly, he has been the most useful to the American people: as a righthand man to the competent one.

He's done the JRE released today.

Also, though I have not yet received the promised notice on ISP downtime for the major service upgrade, from the original notice, I'm still expecting to be out of the loop both tonight and tomorrow night.

My luck says the very most crucial to my wellbeing thing will drop tonight or tomorrow night....

Tony's still happening. I think something huge blew up in his life a few years ago and he made no appearance for some of them, but he is now officially still alive, even if we can't see him. He can be heard and I will certify that unless AI's lots better'n I knew, he's still happening.

So, if yer in trouble and can't find a helpful ear, Tony's still yer very best bet.

For upholding wholesome life over corrupt "science" when in reality he was DESPERATE to save us from this shit. In other words, they'd upset him SO badly he went seemingly 'round the bend to do everything he could cook up for our protection.

You might scoff, but he cured lots of people from dread, lethal diseases for most of his life, before he appeared to have lost his mind behind nano bots... fried out his circuits in his determination to help us win over evil. I think he died of it, but maybe they only put him in jail. He's been silent way too long and I don't trust the kids who tried to take over for him.

What with Epstein files and Grammy's and all, but these poor, besotted, blokes got busted and humiliated and excommunicated for falling under the spell of a harridan, only hurting themselves.

And I really think his reticence to release the files has been his idea of assuaging malevolent forces. I don't exactly know how he expects us to STOP it if we can't identify those malevolent forces on account of his sudden blast of prudence, but he's too used to being incautious about too much... like many of us in the world... like the most trustworthy of us in this world.

People just are close to never as perfect as we expect them to be.

It's often a total calamity.

Helping me with ANYTHING, including keeping CREEPS from bothering me with their stupid commercial purposes, or just plain snoopy ones. I'm an open book when no one can use, irk or abuse me on that account.

As we've seen, too many fucking filthy psychopaths just HATE that.

he's right

...

He's usually right. He almost always SHOULD be right. Once in a while his screws loosen a little too much, but he resets better'n any fabulous nut I ever met. It has nothing to do with his money. I don't give people spiritual points for wealth. I don't dock them for poverty. I've spent my whole life relatively safe from harm because your economic circumstances do not make me think more or less of you.

I guess I should add that neither do your race, religion, or sexual orientation.

And it's never "thinking". It's unbidden. And never wrong. I am sometimes wrong, but the feeling never is. So Elon's not really perfect, not really someone with whom we must agree for our own good, but his motive is always good, even if he sometimes doesn't exactly get how much damage can also be done by his good intentions.

We should always heed him.

i woke up to some alarming news this morning

[click image]


...

My ISP will be shutting down for a major upgrade on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. I think. They say the upgrade starts on the 3rd and is expected to end on the 5th... "overnight" to minimize disruption. I'm thinking this means we're still happening during the days so that businesses can still transact.

That might minimize it for earthlings, but for those of us, obviously, born on Planet Nine, well, we're fucked. Best case scenario for us is we are experiencing an anomalous desire to sleep at bonafide night and be lucid and at least marginally functional from bonafide morning until we get too sleepy to stay awake all bonafide night.

It's not, and never has been, "internet addiction" for me. It's I don't know my ass from a hole in the ground without the internet anymore. Can't afford it. Can't even abide it. I have no phone. I have no radio. I have no tv. I have no working clock.

So, basically, and I know this is shocking, I'm liable to be much weirder'n usual for a couple days this week.

I'm sorry, but this fuckin' box is my only intersection with "normal" and my only retreat from it at one and the very same time.
